Dear God, I...

...don’t know why it
turned out like this.

You called Rockokko.
We can’t answer right now.

Leave a message, or come here!

I have a meeting with
Frank tomorrow, at Rockokko.

I’m testing the restaurant number.

—Good morning,
boss. —Good morning.

Hey, mom. Are you there? Hello?

I came third in the knotted
competition. You wanted to know. So...

Pretty satisfied. Bye.

Me again. You’re sleeping well at
work. It would be nice if you messaged.

I don’t really know when it snapped,

a barely audible crack, one
evening when I was on my way home.

I was tired and just wanted
to curl up next to Christian.

Wake up, eat breakfast
with the kids, pray with mom...

I wanted to. But
then I turned back.

I took another glass, and another one. Then
it just kept getting more of everything.

A white day, God. That’s what I pray for.

I just can’t handle the thought that
I’ll never be able to have fun again.

I like the pace. This is what I’m good
at. Open new places, find new spots.

Understand what makes people thrive.

–You're here early. –Yes. I
thought I'd take a day on the floor.

Shall we take a look at the menu?

Get people queuing, blow all their money
and thank me when they leave.

Everyone ready?

Welcome!

Here? Then we'll move this,
so you can sit here in peace.

These men like to feel the most
important. Then they feel good.

*"I should have been home more,"*
they say. *"I feel so guilty."*

But no one applauds
their goodnight songs.

At home they're mediocre.
It's at work they're best.

ORDER LOBSTER

WHITE DAY

A white day, every week.
Soon two.

A slow phase-out, and in the end
it never was a problem.

Just a short period of
intense work. I’ll handle this.

More to drink?

**LYCKOLANDET** – We got a response

to our application to OD.
– How did it go?

We got it. We got the license.

– Yeah, that’s good. It’s...
– We can start preparing.

Does Nyman Diving have any ROVs?

– Underwater robots?
– No ROVs.

–Do you want to buy one?
–They’re extremely expensive.

That’s probably more
for subsea specialists.

We’re a diving company. We dive.

And that’s what we’ll be able to do at
Troll. The verification dive taught us a lot.

–That it’s dangerous to
dive that deep. –Yeah...

You can still change your mind.

–Do you want to do the Troll job
without divers? –We want to use robots.

There are limits to what an
ROV can do. You need divers.

–Maybe. Yeah. –And?

I’m asking if Nyman Diving
wants to be *the* company?

A company for the future.

We signed the contract ten
years ago, Frank! This is our future.

–I know. –You can’t
break such a big deal!

–I’m not breaking
anything. –Not...?

Here’s the translation: I’ve reviewed the contract
thoroughly. I want Nyman Diving to get the job.

Trust me. Marius is my
son. Mine is Martin’s wife.

I like you.
And a contract is a contract.

I want to do what’s right. But to see your
divers go to the hospital, hallucinate..

.
To see Martin... Christ, Christian.

Let the machines handle this job. —No one should
have to die. —Not when there are machines?

—But before that? —We
can end this, or move on.

A standby team at Troll isn’t
much work for us right now.

No, as a diving job, it’s not much.

But you can get the subsea job.

But an ROV costs 18 million!

I know. According to our lawyers we
don’t have to give you the subsea job.

–Okay, just a standby team will do.
–Then we won’t make a profit on Troll.

Likely not. But you
*are* a subsea operator.

You’ll have to think about that.

–I’ve got nearly 200 divers
under contract. –I know.

–What do I tell them? –That
they avoid dying young?

There’ll still be work,
Christian. Safer work.

If you establish yourselves
as a subsea operator...

–Anything else?
–Just the bill, thanks.

–Alright.
–Toril probably covers it.

–No, I’ll take it.
–Alright.

I’m saying this now, so you
have time to make the right call.

–He didn’t need to pay.
–He needed the edge.

–He asks us for something we
can’t. –But who benefits in the end?

Nyman.

Men det krävs stora uppoffringar.
Many divers lose their jobs.

I remember the first time I saw
you. I thought you looked kind.

—That’s not always a
good trait. —Yes, it is.

You handle it.
Even if it’s difficult.

Did he place the machine right in
the finger bore? That’s not stupid.

How are you going to control this?

Some levers in the derrick as backup. But
everything should be controlled from the bridge.

—Do you have any method
for pipe feeding? —No, not yet.

Besides, we’re taking
Texas Mechanics market.

They can have that, Anna.

—According to the lawyer,
we can do this. —Perfect.

Yes, but even if the law is on
our side, they can get irritated.

Here’s the translation: We take their
market when we instrument our own machines.

They still get to build them, though.

Is it an honor for Texas
Mechanics to build for Komponent?

This machine is an honor to all.

Here’s the top drive, and here’s
where we place the moonracker.

*—Is this a standard pipe-handling
rig?* *—No, this is something new.

* Here, the pipes are placed in a
circle, so you can feed them continuously.

The capacity is 30%
higher than existing models.

*—Where do you place the control
mechanism?* *—In the drill floor.

* *—None on the drill deck.*
*—Interesting. Absolutely worth a try.

*
I agree. Absolutely a good choice.

We should set up a meeting with
Statoil, get an option before we start.

Here’s the translation: It’ll be a
slightly different ownership structure.

With the roughneck, you deliver the
machine and we handle the instrumentation.

But the moonracker is our
machine, which you’ll have to build.

Yeah, but it’s the same job.

Yeah, but the machine is
ours. It’s our technology.

—What did you have in mind?
—50-50.

We developed the machine.

—We only want the instrumentation.
—It’s part of a larger system.

—This is something new.
—Have you patented it?

—It’s not possible. The function already
exists. —Then you haven’t invented anything new.

—But... We could stretch to


Why do you want to become our
competitor? We work so well together.

Why start something you can’t do?

–We can stretch to


Your or our. We’ll see. But you deliver the
instrumentation. That’s what you’re good at.

We have a completely different offer.

–We’re not interested.
–No one else can instrument.

How hard can it be?

–Then we’ll build our own machine.
–How so?

–How hard can it be?
–That’s the point.

Everyone here is a theoretician. To
build something, we need practitioners.

We need a factory space, iron,
steel, people who can weld, calculate...

Who know how it works on the
drill floor and can run tests at Ullrigg.

We test with 60-40. I’ve
already made a proposal.

–Anna, that’s giving away everything.
–No. It’s keeping 40% of everything.

You’re a bit too cautious.
That’s when we make money.

–That’s when we have to
bet. –We bet on what we can.

–I want to do new things.
–We’re testing 60-40.

We get less than 15%
from every roughneck sold.

This is much better. We’ll
have to build one stone at a time.

–What?
–You’re from a stone farm, right?

I see it in front of me: you
and your dad stacking stones.

*"One stone at a time, Anna."*
–Maybe.

Tell me when they respond.

It went fast. Maybe we
shouldn’t have been so quick.

We could have gotten 50-50.


**OUR MACHINE!

**
Anna, don’t try...

Anna!

Please, don’t...

Close the door, are you kind.

Damn!

Hell!

Hi!

You're so good!

I didn’t know you were so good.

–Cool that you’re walking backward.
–What?

–Is Mom picking you up
today? –I almost... Ouch!

Climb aboard, then.

–I can’t.
–Of course you can.

–You’ve got boat
experience, I see. –Yeah, a bit.

–The waves came straight at me. Did you
see? –Yeah, think how good you’ve become!

–Aren’t you scared?
–No.

–Hey, fisherman!
–Hey, hey.

–Do you know him? –Yeah. He
lives on the boat. His wife is dead.

–Are we going to Rockokko?
–No.

We can probably go shopping. See
if we can find you some new shoes.

–Don’t you have a meeting
at work? –Not today.

–I’m a little hungry. –Should we
go to a café? We can go to Sting.

–They’ve already closed.
–Thanks.

It probably sounds stupid
not to trust your daughter...

That was probably just thoughtful of you.

Would you like a cup of
coffee before you leave? Or tea?

A cup of coffee, please.

–Thanks.
–Here you go.

I think boiled coffee is best.

At home, they’ve gotten a
coffee maker, but... Yeah.

It’s easier, but... the taste.

–Easier isn’t always better.
–Yeah, right?

–In the end, you’re just sitting there anyway.
–Do you have anyone to make coffee for then?

I live in a multigenerational home. Toril,
Christian, and the kids have a place.

I have my own one-bedroom.
But I’m often over there.

Cleaning, cooking and
hanging out with the kids and...

Nej. Not to me.

—Sure? It makes the
biscuits less dry. —No, thanks.

We don’t have any old photos, but... You’ve
been diving since the end of the '60s?

Offshore since '69. Before
that, at Haakonsvern.

I have such a f*cking headache. I...
I’m in so much pain from the machine.

—You’ve been given
painkillers. —They don’t work.

—No, not yet. Give it another half hour.

They’ve never worked. It’s constant...
It feels like it’s going to explode.

—I understand, but... —You
don’t understand anything!

I’m just getting worse here!

—No, it’s not needed.

f*ck off...

Martin, I’m going to give you
something stronger, that’s also calming.

It seems to work much
faster. How’s it going?

–Can I do that?
–May I answer for you?

–Yes...
–Okay. He wants medicine.

–Calm down!
–Then I need his upper arm.

We took this right after the dive.
I can’t comment on the others...

But this isn’t the first time I’ve seen
such images after dives over 200 meters.

Here you see a healthy brain...

–What are the spots?
–Small infarcts.

The brain can repair itself, to
some extent. But in this case...

...that hasn’t happened.

–Is it worse? –No, but
it should have improved.

–How will it go from here?
–We’re trying to figure that out.

It might stabilize.

Today he’s undergone many
tests, and it’s exhausting.

–How is his home situation? –He's
married. But his wife travels a lot.

They’ve struggled to have
children. Is it connected?

I doubt it. But we
don’t know yet.

–Why am I not sick? We
dive together. –I don’t know.

We’ll do everything we can to
halt the progression. Our patients...

–How many are we talking
about? –I can’t go into details.

–More than three? –Yes.

–Fewer than 10? 20?

–Fewer than 20.
–And they’re all divers?

A few boxers with similar symptoms,
but I’m researching the divers.

One thing I can say: It
didn’t occur during a dive.

–Are you trying to evade responsibility?
–I want to understand why they get sick.

And why it’s happening *right now*. The
divers have been active for nearly 20 years.

He must have
an underlying issue—

–that wasn’t picked
up in the physical tests.

From now on we have to work
in a completely different way.

We need more information.

—Do you have his dive logs?
—Yes.

Can we study your
divers? Scan their brains.

It can help us
discover what’s going on.

What it is that they can’t stand.

—I’ll ask.
—Are you doing it yourself?

—Can we start with the logbooks?
—Of course.

—I found no valid certificate for you.
—No.

After *Kielland*
I went down a lot for a while.

—You rescued the dead?
—Yes.

But when they pulled *Kielland* ashore
and told us to go down...

I run the company. That’s enough.

Christian?

—Don’t we have things to do at the office?
—Yes.

**THE PROFESSIONAL DIVER’S LOGBOOK**

—Then I’m done with mine. You?
—Yes, it’s nearly over.

—Should we go eat?
—Toril’s cooking dinner today.

—Oh no, oh no, oh no.
—Yes.

So I guess I have to go
home. Are you coming with?

—I don’t want to be a
bother... —No, it’s just nice.

—Are those my journals?
—Yes.

You can change your mind.

Do I need a doctor’s note?

—No.
—No...

What did the doctor say?

Will it get worse?

—How do you feel now? —I’m a
bit dizzy, but fine enough to work.

—Really?
—Yes.

Jag pratade med Frank idag.

It can happen that Troll becomes unmanned.

—Do you think Shell will break the contract?
—No, but they can impose new requirements.

—Oh?
—they don’t want divers to go as deep.

He wants us to get an
ROV to carry out the job.

—Aren’t those damn expensive?
—Yes.

—Why don’t you build it yourselves?
—We’ve never built anything.

But it’s not that complicated.

The components of the machine
are much better than Texas Mechanics.

—But they were first... —You
don’t discard a better machine.

Real people work on the platform. They
are seriously injured at the workplace.

Moreover, this machine is better, and
Texas Mechanics should have chosen it.

I’m so... I hate it when
people only think about money.

—Want to?
—What?

Be the guy leading the project?

You’re a drilling supervisor and earn well
offshore, so I get it if you don’t want to, but...

—There aren’t many like you.
—Okay.

—Okay?
—Okay.

—Do you mean it?
—Yes. Yes... Yes.

Yes.

—Okay.
—Okay.

I have to call Sture. When I left, he
was sitting there, grinning at his desk.

—Grinning? —He thought
he was the worst in the world.

Anna? Was he sitting there grinning?

—No. But he was disappointed.
—It wouldn’t be the first time.

You’ve reached Sture
Movik. Leave a message.

Are you there? Hello, are
you there? Did you go home?

I’ve calculated it,
and I’ve talked to Rein.

And I’ve hired him as project
manager for the moonracker.

—What? Are you crazy?
—No, I mean it.

—Rein says the machine
is genius. —Not so bad.

*"Not so bad,"*
it’s genius in Dirdal.

We start tomorrow. Rein’s
on land in three weeks.

—That’s just fantastic.
—Yeah, awesome.

–Where are you going?
–To Dirdal to pick up my tools.

–Call Svend and tell him I’m coming.
–Sture, we’ll talk tomorrow.

**NO! NO! NO!**

**COTTAGES FOR SALE**

**FURNITURE CRAFTSMAN**

Hello, brother!
That’s my wrench!

Oh? Is it him?

–Should I stir the sauce?
–Yes, thanks. You can cook.

Do you maybe want to work for me
one day? Or do you have other plans?

I was thinking of applying to
teacher’s college. Work with children.

—Do you like children?
—Yes.

—Do you like me?
—Yes, of course.

Hello!

Hi, Martin. —Are you also
clearing the table for him, Marius?

—Hi, Solveig.
—Hello.

—Hi. Martin.
—Hi. Solveig.

–Is Mina away again? –Yes.
They’re working in the Persian Gulf.

–Will you take them for me?
–Yes.

She might be homesick?

No, I don’t think so. Women
aren’t even allowed to drive there.

I wonder how it is to
move to another country.

I wouldn’t have managed that.

–You know that.
–How would I know that?

Frank asked you to
follow to the Gulf of Mexico.

I almost forgot that.

Then you can just take off.

–Solveig, can you fetch water?
–Yes.

I didn’t know that. I
thought Frank just left.

He came back after a few years,
but by then I’d already met Christian.

–Had you?
–I had plans to meet you.

Why don’t you have children?
Don’t you like children?

It's clear that I'm doing it.

We've tried, but haven't succeeded yet.

–Here.
–We're not saying more about it...

–Here, you get a red herring.
–Oh, a thousand thanks!

Bye.

–Bye.
–Bye.

–Are you home?
–Yes.

I'm about to go and lie down.

Have you been out fishing?

The fish? It doesn’t look bought.

No, exactly that.

So...

So that’s how it is.

–Now I’m going to lie down.
Good night. –Sleep well.

–Did you also get a craving for
rhubarb juice? –Oh, you scared me!

–Yes. Do you want some too?
–Yes.

Can I have it like in the bar?

Yes, of course.

Here you go.

Should we watch TV?

Good that your mom liked me.

–I’ve been afraid of her.
–Why then?

Hon feels so many weird types.

Gays and... I was afraid she
would think I was too ordinary.

*—But she was pretty
ordinary herself.* *—Yeah.

* *Today, at least.* Today,
she was very ordinary.

*—Isn’t she usually like that?*
*—Yeah.

*
I have to study for the math test.

Do you want me to
leave? I’ll be home by ten...

Why is it so important to you
to be normal? To be ordinary?

I like ordinary people.
You don’t have to always be special.

–Not as long as you're doing well.
–Of course.

Men there must be someone you like, right?

What’s his name...?
Chris, he’s quite nice?
